Presumed extinct

This species is known only from the female holotype, supposedly collected in 1909 by R.C.L. Perkins from Waialua, Oʻahu (but see comments below). Meyrick (1932) suggested that it was introduced along with a hypothesized leguminous host, possibly from Asia. Zimmerman (1978) disagreed and considered it endemic. Oboyski (2011) agreed with Zimmerman and compared it to several Canavalia -feeding Hawaiian Cydia . It appears very similar to C. parapteryx (Meyrick) , also only known from Oʻahu.
